I believe that when packing packages, you should especially send small packages, such as a mobile phone case, a cell phone, a pair of glasses, etc. You may have encountered this problem: ""I sent a small package and thought it was properly packaged, but why is the final shipping fee so expensive?"" The problem is most likely due to packaging errors, If you don’t know how to package small packages, you may be charged extra fees by the courier!
I would like to share with you a real case of packaging errors: A customer sent a mobile phone case, and the package area was not large enough to include the shipping label and commercial invoice. So the courier helped her repackage it, and the original 1kg parcel became 3kg, because the packaging required the courier to charge more than double the shipping fee!
In order to prevent everyone from having the same tragic situation, the editor has compiled Zuo Chao’s practical packaging guide! We help you ensure that your package can be cleared through customs and delivered to its destination on time; the difference in shipping costs will “surprise” you if you don’t wash it! The most important thing is to help you save some money in your wallet~
The express delivery company will use an electronic measuring system (as shown above) to measure the actual weight and volumetric weight of the package, and will ultimately calculate the shipping fee based on the weight with the larger value. For example, volumetric weight > actual weight, then it will be calculated based on volumetric weight. Related articles【Charging model】
The measuring system will use a lens to scan the package (refer to the picture below) and measure the length, width and height of the goods to calculate the volumetric weight of the package. Therefore, it is best to pack itin such a way that there is no extra space! If it is not related to volume and weight, there will be an extra left frame.
If the volume and weight measured by the courier are different from those measured by you, there will be a freight difference. If you want to send a smaller package, like the case above, the outer packaging area is not enough to affix the shipping note and customs declaration invoice. At this time, the courier will help you repackage the parcel, and the new packaging will not be as good as my own packaging!
The new packaging may make the package larger, so the courier will charge additional fees. If you don’t want the courier to repack the package for you, you have to pack it yourself in advance, affix the shipping documents and secure the package!
Ordering a package first can avoid not having to pay for it and having to pay extra shipping costs? Don’t worry, I’ll help you, help you! Take a look at the following package packaging methods now:
1. Put the goods into the express bag, and add cushioning materials as needed, such as air bags, newspapers, foam sheets and other packaging protective materials.
*Express bags can be registered as a member of the express company website to obtain limited express packaging for free or purchase the packaging yourself.
2. Wrap the excess courier bag on the edges and seal the edges with tape.
3. Then fold the shipping note and commercial invoice and put them into a transparent bag/fresh-keeping bag, then attach them to the top of the package and wrap them with the edges.
*Try not to fly up to the side to prevent the system from enlarging the size of the goods scanned
- Small packages do not include paper documents. Qianqi should not send small packages as documents!
- Try to weld-wrap the goods to reduce the size of the package and avoid additional charges due to excessive size.
- The outer packaging should not have obvious text information, such as the previous shipping information.
- The shipping note should be attached to a smooth surface of the package to avoid wrinkles that prevent the recipient from being seen clearly or the barcode that cannot be scanned, causing delays in the delivery process.
